Try to find out the tasks in the test by internet or try to ask friends from higher grades.

If you're studying list after list of words, you'll probably forget them quickly.

Memorizing words is much easier when the word is one you consider useful at the time you see it, when you need to use it regularly as output or when you see it regularly in reading input or hear it in oral input.

In other words, memorizing is easier when it's frequent and important to you.

To learn vocabulary, read a lot (every day) and write a lot (every day); do this for many different reasons and on different subjects.

Learning vocabulary is a long process; it doesn't happen from day to night!

That's my point... you don't have to study hard!!!

You should enjoy yourself more... if you enjoy it, you do it more and you remember it better.

her kelimenin anlamını karşına çıktığı anda öğrenmen gerek. sakın erteleme. güzel de bir sözlük al kendine. English - English.
